The Butterfly is an engineering feat in that 40% of the total weight of the art is in the butterfly, which is attached by an approximately 1-foot weld joint. The butterfly is in perfect equilibrium with the base in order for the art to stand erect without anchors. This piece is compliant with Florida Hurricane Building Codes.
